[Xen-users] Installing Fedora domU from a Debian dom0

[Andy Smith <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

What's the easiest way to install a Fedora 8 domU from a Debian
dom0?

As far as I am aware, rpmstrap is unmaintained now and stopped being
able to install Fedora somewhere around FC6?

The procedure I use for Centos is here:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomU

That doesn't work for Fedora though; the initial install kernel
doesn't seem to want to boot.  I have heard somewhere that this
kernel can only function as dom0.

The Fedora docs:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Fedora8VirtQuickStart

only cover using virt-install, virt-manager or something called
cobbler & koan.  I haven't yet investigated installing any of that
on Debian (if it is indeed possible) as I would rather not install a
mass of dependencies just to manage one domU OS.

How does everyone else do it?

Cheers,
Andy
